First, thanks for the update! I'm glad the trip went well.
I do have to disagree with one thing you said, however.
we are still working on things with her, and she has made some progress....i.e. calling my daughter more and things along that line.
It doesn't sound like she's making much progress to me :) The only true barometer of her progress is whether she's stopped using....calling your daughter doesn't help either one of them all that much (because it runs the risk of drawing your daugher into the circle of misery).
However, I do believe you when you say you won't let it go on too long. In my opinion, if it starts messing with your daughter's head, or she gets so caught up in it her other friendships suffer (not to mention school and activities) that's when your daughter is paying too high a price for caring.
I don't mean to sound like a broken record, but do please keep us posted. Now you've got me curious what happens :)
Hi Indian,
Sorry it has taken so long for me to update you, but life has been somewhat difficult lately.(long story, not important here)
Anyways, I have just found out that this girl I have been speaking of as of last weekend (I think) has been clean for 10days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She is very proud of herself, as are my daughter and myself. Now, what I want to try and make happen is to get her out of her house.......if she can make the committement it will take to stay off the drugs, I would let her come here, and then get her on the right road with professional help for the addiction and the conditions she has been diagnosed with.
Thanks for all your help and input with this.....it has made a huge difference!!!!
Tammy
